Dear LAZCA021: thanks for your comment but I think it's a 'distinction without a difference" for the ESL student.

Auxilliary has a squiggly red line underneath it when I write it down on MS Word. Are there two ways of spelling this word?



[LAZCA021]

To function as a function word.

At first I was I little bit confused when you said: “be, do and have verbs have two functions, they can act as an auxiliary verb or content words.”

I think you get a little bit confused by using the word “function”

You should have said: be, do and have verbs are auxiliary verbs that can act as function or content words.

Content words carry meaning and function words just help to create grammatical structures.
